This month, I'd like to whet your appetite with a brief description of one of my audio mysteries that I have chosen for you. This one is called "The Canadian Clown" and here is a brief description:

Marc André Ficheau SR had been a successful businessman.
He had everything going for him but alas!
Something in his past came back to bite him and he was powerless to stop the course of events.
Tragedy, sadness, and more.
Who could have done it?
Someone in Marc André's past?
Someone with a vendetta against him?
An enemy?

Section: Some Friendly Advice From Author Donna Jodhan:

For this month, I'd like to introduce another way for you to develop your ideas. You may find this suggestion a bit different but trust me when I tell you that it does indeed work.

This may be a good month for you to try out this suggestion as you will no doubt be experiencing the smells of both spring and summer. I use my sense of smell to help me to develop my ideas. I use various smells and fragrances to help me with my writing.

For example: The scent or smell of roses helps me to imagine scenes of rose gardens, walking in a garden on a bright spring day or vases of flowers in a dining room. The delicious smell of baking cookies helps me to formulate scenes that could take place in a kitchen, or scenes of customers in a bakery. The smell of clothes being washed in my washer can help me to develop a scene of someone folding freshly laundered clothes or a mom dressing her little ones in fresh clean garments.

You see, you can easily use your sense of smell to help you associate scenes and objects and bring them together on your mind's canvas. It is really not too difficult and you can have lots of fun and success doing it.

Happy imagining through smelling!

Donna J. Jodhan AKA Detective DJ

Section: The Mysterious World of Detective DJ:

For this month I am going to tell you how Detective DJ went about creating her team! You already know that Detective DJ and Author Donna Jodhan are one and the same and that the author used her initials to create the character Detective DJ.

The fictional team was developed strictly on a fictional basis and the characters each possess a bit of the author's own personality. We'll briefly describe the first two characters for this month and then talk about the other three characters next month.

Dr Shay Harrington is a psychologist who attended school with Author Donna and her character is very similar to that of author Donna. However, Dr Shay has other characteristics that make her different. She is married with twins; a boy and a girl and author Donna has a twin brother. Dr Shay is quiet, a bit shy, and extremely reflective; similar to author Donna. She has a passion for traveling, ice skating, and chess but this is where her similarities to the author ends. Dr Shay has another side to her! Mysterious and private and a lot of her work as a psychologist is top secret!

Chip Sanderson is the private investigator to this team and he is very similar to the author in that he loves investigative work but there is more to him than this. He is divorced with two daughters and they are the pride and joy of his life. He loves to ski, hike, and fish! He engages in wine making and loves a good social life! However, his work always comes first! He has been involved in the solving of many international high profile crimes and he is a schoolmate of the author.

No, there is a simple solution just waiting for you to become a part of it and it has to do with how we listen and what we listen to!

The time has come to change the way we listen, and what we allow and encourage our kids to listen to. Yes! The time has come for us to use the spoken word to help change how our kids think, act, and react. It's all about using the power of the spoken word to reshape our mindset to become problem solvers through logic and fact rather than through violence and crime.

Donna Jodhan has developed a very unique and potent recipe for helping to fight crime and it all begins with exposing kids and their parents to clean listening through her audio mysteries. In short! A delicious salad bowl of simple ingredients that include warm heartedness, fiction, drama, suspense, intrigue, mystery, all combined with occurrences of daily life! Donna Jodhan's audio mysteries are filled with clean content that truly depicts the essence of true mystery as opposed to the use of distasteful language while at the same time it perpetuates enjoyment and pleasure through the use of real life conflict and drama.

For literally pennies you can purchase, sit, and enjoy and you know what? You can download these mysteries to your computer and to any of your i devices! No more having to worry about what your kids are listening to!
